| January 5th, 2012 right before my first night completing couch to 5k at 255 lbs. |
So here we go again, new year new time to try and take off this college/baby/misc weight. Whatever it is a attributed to it needs to go. I must comment that my belly looks like a contented man, I am not as content. It's really not the aesthetics, I generally like the way I look, it's the health and mobility. At 255 lbs I am 8 lbs away from the heaviest weight I have been ever and I just don't move like I used to. I am losing flexibility, stamina, and endurance as well as already being at high risk for diabetes. My goal is 50lbs by June when we do our annual twin mom meet up. Lucky I have the support of all those ladies, and I am definitely not doing it alone.
This last week I have indulged in all my favorite foods from fried chicken, to Chinese, to Italian, to Mexican. I am finishing tonight with a large meal from the Salt Lick! Mmmmm
I did however start Couch to 5k pushing the boys in our jogging stroller. I feel as though I have deprived them of something because, Josh especially, loves going on jogs through our neighborhood. Last night he refused to get out of the stroller! It was really difficult to alternate the 1 minute of jogging and the 1/2 minute of walking. I kept asking the lady to please tell me to walk again.
There are less determined times in my life where I would have justified to myself turning around and going back home without finishing. I just kept going, whatever it felt like I just had to keep going.
I guess that's it then, I am starting one day at a time.
PS if you have any tips feel free to comment them!
